I am not an audiophile - just someone who likes to see and hear good quality video and audio.

Here is what I currently have:

Outlaw Model 770 Amp
Outlaw Model 950 PreAmp / Processer
OPPO OPDV971H DVD Player
Sony Model KV34HS510 Television
Paradigm Studio Reference 80 Fronts
Paradigm ADP-470 Surrounds
Paradigm Studio CC Center
Paradigm Seismic 12a Subwoofer

At Best Buy today I was tempted with upgrading to Blu-ray High-Def Disc Player (Sony Model #BDP-S300) and a Sony Bravia 46" Model #KDL46S4100 television.

Please be patient with my questions.

1. My current TV is High-Def compatible with an HDMI receptacle. Will Blu-ray be effective with this TV or do I need to upgrade the TV?

2. Best Buy staff discouraged me from getting the PS3 40GB game station because of the audio limitations. If the audio goes through the Outlaw equipment, will this still be a problem.

3. The total price for the upgrades recommended by Best Buy, including getting the HDMI cable they recommend (about $100.00) is approx $2,000.00 pre-tax, no extended warranty dollars. Would you experts think this is worth the money, or would you point me in other directions?

My wife and I are not wealthy so please don't float ideas that cost much more than what we're contemplating. Thanks for your input.
